Public Theology Event. Peter Scott writes: ‘I’m delighted to announce that the 2026 Ferguson lecturer is Prof. Maureen Junker-Kenny (Trinity College, Dublin). Among other topics, Prof. Junker-Kenny has made a distinctive and widely acknowledged contribution to public theology. She will give the Ferguson Presentation at Manchester Cathedral at noon. The title of the presentation is “Conceptions of the Biblical God and the Hope for a Responsive Humanity”. At 4 PM, she will give the Ferguson Lecture at the University of Manchester—the lecture title is “Frameworks for Social Theology: Habermas and Ricoeur on Agency, Ethics, and Religion". Please do come and hear Prof. Junker-Kenny at either or both these events.’ Further details, including a description of the Presentation and the Lecture, may be found here. The Presentation will be followed by lunch; the Lecture will be followed by a drinks reception. The venue at the University for the Lecture is the Ellen Wilkinson Building, Room C1.18. Both events are free and without ticket. Contact: peter.scott@manchester.ac.uk.
